Biography:
Brno, the second biggest city in the Czech Republic, was the place where in 1968 Pavel Váně and Zdeněk Kluka founded together the rock group “Progress Organization.” The first LP of Progress Organization, called “Barnodaj,” was hailed by the critics as the “Best Album of 1971.” During the seventies when the process of “normalization” was under way in Czechoslovakia, the group used to play only “occasionally,” but was able to release another very successfull album called “Barnodaj – Mauglí,” based on the book by Rudyard Kipling. In 1978 the group went through a reorganization and under the new name “Progress 2” put together a completely new stage program “Dialogue with the Universe” with Pavel Váně as a main singing actor. On this project that went down the Czech music history as the first Czech rock opera, the group collaborated with renowned Brno’s actors and artists. The album from this experimental project became the bestseller of the eighties. The controversial topic of this project, emigration, became a source of many problems with the ruling Communist Party.
In the following years the group restructured itself several times. The third album “The Third Jungle Book“ featured a new singing talent Roman Dragoun. Later the group released other albums, as for example the “Brain” and “Change.”From the nineties the group has been performing in the almost original formation:Pavel Váně – singer, guitar Zdeněk Kluka – singer, drums/percussionsPavel Pelc – bassBorek Nedorost – keyboardFrequent guests are singer Roman Dragoun and guitarist Miloš Morávek.






















We've got very nice and varied music from Pimpo.I've just downloaded it few hours ago but already have some favourite tracks.The best for me is "roentgen 19.30" a fast tempo istrumental pearl remind me for the music of early Maanam and Stereolab.I cant stop to listen!
From the first lp till the last one you can explore many styles merge with this band. The first two is still something experimental art rock with symphonic sounds such as King Crimson.
(The second lp '3 books of jungle' starts with voices of birds and nice synth)
The Lp 'Mozek' is maybe the most exciting to me,the style is between prog.rock-new wave-post punk . For example the song 'pocitatu' is a punk one ,the song 'mas svuj den' is a nice synth track.
The last Lp 'Zmena' is loaded with synth sounds and beautiful songs ('zmena', 'rty jsou schranka cekani', 'platenky na nohach' and 'vrat se zpatky, leto me') and keep the high standard music.
It's very worth to listen this music!!
